They say a date can't go wrong with candlelight, flowers, a little wine and mood music, but let's face it, isn't that a little cliche. With a little creativity and imagination you can make every date an affair to remember! The perfect date is said to consist of the following elements:
An element of surprise! This not only tickles your lover's fancy but also adds an air of excitement to the date. The next time you invite him or her out, don't tell her where you are going. Imaginative lovers might even want to blindfold their partners until you reach the surprise destination - a picnic laid out for two in a park or a living room strewn with rose petals.
Creativity. It is definitely time to appeal to your imagination if the two of you find yourself stuck in a rut. Maybe you are renting a video and falling into bed every Friday night or eating at the same restaurant every day. Think of ways to entertain your lover, such as renting costumes and holding your very own "theme" night, complete with food in your apartment.
1.Mutual Interest. Try to remember which interests brought you together in the first place. Check the past to see if you are dragging a disinterested boyfriend to art openings or a bored girlfriend to football games. Are you both interested in art? Try making your own pottery. Do you both love animals? Try a trip to a zoo.
The following suggestions for creative, fun and imaginative dates also might help spice up your relationship as well as delight your partner on a first date!
A Night Under The Stars - Why not take your date to the planetarium to view the constellations from a telescope or watch the stars whirl beneath the dome?! Purists might want to consider finding somewhere private, in your garden or on a beach, laying out a blanket and candles and enjoying an evening together watching the stars in the real sky.
Amusement Park - Bring out your partner's "child within" by treating your partner to cotton candy, rides on the Ferris wheel and shots at winning a stuffed toy.
Old Fashioned Picnic - Pack treats in a wicker hamper and bicycle out to your favorite park to relax in the sun and enjoy long conversations with each other.
Mini-Golf - Even dates that are professional golfers find this mutation of this game to be silly, fun and exciting. The relaxed pace of the game encourages conversation and lots of laughing.
Comedy Club - Liven things up by treating your date to an evening of stand-up comedy at a local club. This is a great suggestion for a first date as you can tell a lot about a person by what material amuses him or her and what material seems corny or offensive.
Zoos and Aquariums - Animals appeal to people's sense of romance, as well as sense of humor. This is also a good suggestion for a first date as observing the antics of animals has a way of breaking the ice.
